About 7 months ago I started having very sporatic pains/ nausea in my upper abdomen, in the center, just under my breastbone. It would hurt a little here or there, it would go away for weeks at a time.
Last Thursday it came back worse than it ever was. The pain was worse and nausea were terrible. Saturday I went to the dr, she said it sounded like either an ulcer or hiatal hernia, she felt around my stomach, and prescribed me protonix to reduce acid in my stomach. Her lab was closed as it was Saturday, I'm going back tomorrow for a blood test to check for h pylori.(although I read that was typically a breath test, she said blood test).
I took the first protonix last night and felt much better today.(did it work THAT fast??) I also started on aloe vera juice yesterday and deglycyrrhizinated licorice. I bought cayenne capsules today but haven't taken them yet.
Anyone have experience with ulcers?
